Move entire contents of one folder to another

[zvi]

How can I move the entire contents of one email folder to another existing email folder. I know I can drag and drop 100 at a time but how can I automate it for the whole folder contents?

Thanks

Zvi

If you are asking from a user perspective, I think that moving by group is pretty much the only way to do it. From an administrative/console side, you have some scripting options you can do with zmmailbox and zmmboxsearch.

You can dump the contents of a folder to a directory with something like:

zmmboxsearch -m username@domain.tld -q "in:foldername" -d /tmp/username

and then loop through that directory, importing each file into the new folder with something like:

for x in '/tmp/username/*'
do
zmmailbox -z -m username@domain.tld am "/Zimbra/Destination Folder" $x
done

And finally remove the old folder with

zmmailbox -z -m usernaem@domain.tld df "/Path/To/Original Folder"
